| May 3 02:36:12 | Amoebros | ♥ 2 | Cool entry! Similar thoughts to some others here, but I liked the graphics (including the microscope shader) and sound but thought the learning curve/initial complexity was a bit high. I liked it though! | |
| May 3 02:48:49 | 12m 37s | Super Natural Defense | ♥ 2 | I enjoyed it! Pretty easy, but satisfying running around in a circle blasting ships. The art was nice too - really liked the final, capital ship! |
| May 3 03:00:16 | 11m 27s | Taco Giant | ♥ 3 | Charming game! Had to let a few people go hungry because they were too close with their friends, but I still managed some nice tips. Liked the art a lot. |
| May 3 03:32:16 | 32m 00s | EAT | ♥ 1 | I really like this one! Played it for a while and was having a lot of fun, but eventually stopped because progress seemed impossible past a point due to the rail gun lasers, as others have noted. Better in-game feedback (visual, audio, etc.) for successful "harvesting" of a planet would be my other biggest recommendation. I couldn't exactly tell what would make me grow, what vacuuming did, etc. Nice work overall though! |
| May 3 03:46:38 | 14m 22s | Bad Panda 2 | ♥ 2 | Collision issues are especially noticeable when approaching an enemy from above, which is - unfortunately - pretty common in this game. Could use checkpoints (maybe it has them but I didn't get to one) and a couple other nitpicks, but mostly I'm just sad that I couldn't make it to the end. I liked the music and especially the art - the main sprites were great! Charming game but the mechanics could be polished up a lot. Nice work, though! |
| May 3 04:04:30 | 17m 52s | Pilgrim | ♥ 1 | Liked it a lot, especially the music. Kind of a similar idea/theme interpretation to mine! The "fear" section, with hiding in bushes, was a bit frustrating. Thought I had the timing down well, but the parts where you can't see the eye are a bit unforgiving. One of my favorites so far, though! |
| May 3 04:19:18 | 14m 48s | Human Tragedy | ♥ 1 | I liked it - agree with others about the backtracking. Nice sprite/animations and mood. Definitely tricked me at the end! |
| May 3 05:20:50 | 1h 01m | World Keep-Away | ♥ 2 | Charming game! Enjoyed playing it and was sad when I died. Some of the jumping behavior is a bit... interesting :) |
| May 4 06:22:52 | 25h 02m | Stable Orbit | ♥ 1 | Fun game! I thought the outer boundary was just a hair too punishing. Let me try wacky stuff and see if I can rein it back in and level out, you know? Along those lines, I also enjoyed trying to intentionally lose in funny ways. You can get some really good, spinning bounces if you angle it right! A nice little secondary game within the game! |
| May 4 06:29:01 | 6m 09s | It's a Small World, So Let's Crash It into Things | ♥ 1 | Fun stuff! Felt good to bounce around, gobbling up medium sized planets once I got some momentum rolling. They had seemed so big a minute prior! The dark star totally creeped me out too, good job with the voice. Maybe ended a bit too quickly once I got that momentum going but really good job! |
| May 4 06:36:03 | 7m 02s | Mulletman and the Molemen | ♥ 1 | Agree with what other have said. Love the art style - great sprites! I also like the sort of "action-platformer/lemmings" gameplay, but I think a little more balancing/playtesting could go a long way. It seemed like the run speed was a little too fast for the screen size/camera behavior, in particular. Stronger incentives for saving the little guys would have upped the mood score for me. And yes, the sounds were too loud :) But this is definitely a cool game! |
| May 4 06:46:46 | 10m 43s | Shapeshifter: The King of A Small World | ♥ 2 | Cool game! Lots of good comments from other people that I agree with. Biggest thing for me was that the camera felt a little too sensitive. I liked it though, and felt compelled to play through most of it :) |
| May 4 07:06:25 | 19m 39s | NES ROM - Arlington Apple in an Interplanetary Pickle | ♥ 2 | Awesome game! Even ignoring the NES part, a really great job! The mechanic was easy to understand and felt like it was used to its full potential. Great job with the "level" design! The player is able to explore and learn how things work without feeling overly punished, and the color-coding of the "levels" within the world helped a lot. I assume that was intentional, but it was really the only way I was able to find the "entry point" for the section I did last. A really fantastic job! PS: My only really complaint was that I didn't feel like it used the theme as well as it could have. But that's just because absolutely everything else about it was so outstanding that a little blemish stands out more :) |
| May 4 18:25:03 | 11h 18m | Tiniest Assassin 2 | ♥ 1 | I also got stuck on a few places. Including the guys crotch, which was unintentional. Controls were tricky but it was fun to bounce around! |
| May 4 18:49:08 | 24m 05s | Ant Detective | ♥ 0 | Cool game. All the models were in action poses though, which was funny in the office in particular. |
| May 4 19:00:40 | 11m 32s | Miniature Adventure | ♥ 1 | Loved it! Really fun game. Novel mechanic, and it was explored well across the levels. I will say that the level where you have to fall through a few layers of offset spikes and then through the middle of the bottom to get to the flag was a little frustrating. It's hard to see where you're even trying to go there. I think it was the 3rd to last level? But other than that, it was awesome! |
| May 4 19:16:35 | 15m 55s | Its a small world | ♥ 1 | Awesome game! I really enjoyed playing it and getting a feel for the boost mechanic. As others have said, the "boost power" upgrade is dangerous. I liked treating them as downgrades and actively trying to avoid them while building up "boost number" upgrades. At 20 you can basically float around forever, which is awesome. Great work! PS: One specific criticism is that I had no idea what the hint "the thief is on a normal planet" means, or however it's worded. What's a "non-normal" planet? |
| May 4 19:22:54 | 6m 19s | Polar Protector | ♥ 0 | Nice game! I particularly liked the sound effects and thought it was an interesting mecahnical/setting idea. Fun to play and definitely tried a few times to see how well I could do! High score: 147 |
| May 4 19:47:36 | 24m 42s | Slightly Angry Max | ♥ 2 | Balance issues prevented me from playing this one too much, but I liked a lot of things about it! In particular, the sprites were great! Liked the music too. I just wish the character was a touch faster (and agree with @grena about the enemies "sticking" - I basically had to ignore ranged enemies completely just trying to keep the melee ones off me). |
| May 4 19:59:32 | 11m 56s | Abaddon | ♥ 0 | Awesome game! Loved the graphics/art style and had a lot of fun playing it. Much hopping and holding down of LMB and RMB (it is kind of weird that you can hold both down at once and use both weapons without affecting one another, but not as weird as Duke Nukem spamming kicks with both legs at once, if we're talking about 90s shooters). |
| May 4 21:32:56 | 1h 33m | Neuroso | ♥ 1 | Liked the game a lot! Music was great and the art was really nice too. |
| May 4 23:45:53 | 2h 12m | Pond of Doom | ♥ 2 | I liked the way the pond-sphere stood out against the sky! That darker-aquamarine border looks really nice. Not too much to do though, but nice work! |
| May 4 23:51:59 | 6m 06s | Dream World | ♥ 1 | Game looks beautiful but I was confused about a lot of things. It didn't really seem like my turrets were firing, and there was basically no feedback that my bullets were hitting enemies. The bullets go through enemies, there's no sound/particle effects to indicate the hit, and it can take a bunch of shots to kill something. |
| May 4 23:58:43 | 6m 44s | MagiSEED | ♥ 1 | Great game! I really enjoyed it - the level design and mechanics were awesome. I also really liked the walking animation - it just felt groovy. Music was good, no real complaints! I guess more shrinking sections would have been cool, actually. Good job! |
| May 5 03:23:52 | 3h 25m | Invasion | ♥ 0 | Congratulations on finishing! Good work! |
| May 5 04:43:15 | 1h 19m | RGB | ♥ 0 | Nice one, but got stuck eventually. Good job! |
| May 5 04:49:10 | 5m 55s | Ninja-Vu | ♥ 0 | It seemed to bug out on the second level? I lose after a few seconds every time in spite of not being in their site cones... |
| May 5 04:53:25 | 4m 15s | Tomorrow or When the world is not bigger than a house | ♥ 2 | That quit screen scared me! Pretty cool stuff! |
| May 7 03:41:06 | 46h 47m | Tumblin' down | ♥ 1 | Hmmm pretty odd/interesting game. I liked the falling earth type element of the game, but thought it was far too easy to deafeat the enemies. The sound effect of the enemy kill is pretty memorable heh nice one. |
| May 7 03:58:52 | 17m 46s | 420 Planets | ♥ 1 | I like the sound effect of beating each level. The menu to go to the next level was a bit finicky with the mouse collision and I accidentally quit the game on my first round of play. Pretty compelling game, interesting message. I'm lit. |
| May 7 04:10:26 | 11m 34s | Starstruck Ducky | ♥ 2 | Guess I'm just not a social butterfly... (Hence my game about social anxiety?) But even though I didn't win, I liked it! The graphics and animations were nice. I felt some strong empathy for the lil waterfowl, and felt very sad to see him cry. So. Many. Tears. But yeah his happiness shakes were cute and I liked the overall vibe. Nice work! |
| May 7 04:43:57 | 33m 31s | Hexoworld 9999 | ♥ 0 | I basically went infinite. Was able to weigh down my left arrow key and live forever, amassing score. It was pretty great. What an awesome game! Really inventive mechanics that fit the theme well, and it was well balanced once you got past the initial learning curve. Could very well be my favorite game that I've played so far this LD. Fantastic work! |
| May 8 00:33:16 | 19h 49m | The Z Axis | ♥ 1 | Cool mechanic! Definitely got tricky at the end. I enjoyed it though, good job! |
| May 8 00:53:58 | 20m 42s | Rocket Roller Space Polo | ♥ 0 | Awesome game! I sucked pretty badly at first and ended up down 0-8. But then it all clicked and I came storming back to win 10-8! What a fun and bouncy game! Great work! |
| May 8 18:54:51 | 18h 00m | Badass Hobo | ♥ 1 | My favorite part was the music - pretty good pump-up tracks! Short and simple, but nice job! I got absolutely slammed by the boss, oh well :) |
| May 8 19:20:23 | 25m 32s | C_NFINEMENT R__M | ♥ 0 | Awesome game! All aspects of the presentation were very polished and intriguing - graphics, sound effects, music, and the inclusion of a hints file. Definitely the kind of game you know you'll want to finish as soon as you start it. I liked the puzzles a lot too - one of the types of puzzles I'm best at :) Good variety with them too! Really excellent work overall! |
| May 8 19:28:27 | 8m 04s | Planetone | ♥ 2 | Really nice! A very pleasant experience. A few things that I found a little frustrating in terms of usability, though: Click-hold shouldn't toggle a plant in a square. Many times I would try to click-drag to rotate the sequencer and accidentally plant something as well, which then interrupts the rotation because I have to go back and re-toggle it. It was also a bit difficult to visualize the full verticality for a given step in the sequencer. This made me have to rotate more than I felt I should have to, which would then lead to the other issue happening more. Not the biggest issues, but wanted to point them out as something that could be improved. Great work overall! |
| May 8 19:43:09 | 14m 42s | Strangeness | ♥ 2 | Nice game! Groovin' soundtrack and an overall cool vibe! |
| May 8 19:49:59 | 6m 50s | Gnome Digger | ♥ 1 | It was a little too slow for me. Couldn't stick with it long enough to get too too far. I liked placing the ladders though. Found that very satisfying for whatever reason :) Cool game! |
| May 10 04:09:49 | 32h 19m | Damn it, Don't Die! | ♥ 1 | Really adorable! I loved the graphics, sound and mood. I do think that most of the game's challenge comes from the lack of ability to rotate or zoom the camera, which doesn't feel great. This, plus the lack of end goal mentioned by others, detracts from the 'fun' score a bit. Still, an awesome job! |
| May 10 04:16:19 | 6m 30s | A World of Death! | ♥ 1 | I liked it! The sound effects when the lil guys dive at you is funny, and the game is pretty well balanced. I would suggest maybe a heal partial heal on respawning? It was pretty easy to get into a hole I couldn't recover from. Nice work! |
| May 10 04:24:22 | 8m 03s | Enlightenment | ♥ 2 | Really loved this one! Everything worked together cohesively to create a very ominous and creepy mood. The graphics, sound, and zoom-in mechanic work together to achieve this. If I had to pick some things to critique: I thought the main character sprite looked a bit boxy, particularly the cloak. And it wasn't quite clear enough that the enemies were hurting you from a distance. At first I thought my character was like, auto-attacking them when I saw the purple projectile thingy. Minor nitpicks aside, great job! |
| May 14 08:58:07 | 100h 33m | The Whole truth about Nature Selection (16+) | ♥ 1 | Cool and creepy vibe! The sound effects were kind of unsettling, but I enjoyed them too..? Unfortunately, I had to play it on a touchpad which made it hard to aim. Definitely has pizzazz. |
| May 14 09:06:58 | 8m 51s | New Clear Planet | ♥ 0 | I refuse to participate in the memery of the previous comments, all of which I helped make. I found the art to be very compelling and also liked the music. It was pretty unclear what I actually had to do though. Telling the player what to do so explicitly, in an alert box spawned on their death, is a little heavy handed. I think that's the biggest area for improvement - making the messaging more clear to the player about what they're trying to accomplish. Still, I thought it was a charming game - nice work! |
| May 15 06:12:26 | 21h 05m | Bubble Boy | ♥ 1 | Fun game! I enjoyed the jumping/bouncing physics and found myself going into Sonic the Hedgehog mode whenever possible - building maximum momentum and bouncing over all the jumps/threats. Really satisfying! I liked the music too... Nothing crazy, but it served its purpose. Also, very glad you made the trigger for the end of the level taller than just the flag itself. That would have been super frustrating, given my previously-described bouncy strategy! |
| May 15 06:20:50 | 8m 24s | This Is Not Enough Planet! | ♥ 2 | Really good game! I loved the weapon, the look/feel of the workers, and the interpretation of the theme. I thought the enerjum transfer rate could have been a little bit higher. I also thought it was too easy, but then I died very suddenly from a huge amount of enemies, the likes of which I hadn't seen prior. Felt like a bit of a quick difficulty ramp - I don't think I had even taken a single hit before the insta-kill! Those couple criticisms aside, really great work! |
| May 15 06:26:42 | 5m 52s | Cosmic Chaos Crunch | ♥ 2 | Really nice mood/graphics/voice acting. Compelling because of those elements, but agree with others' comments about the controls. Too floaty/slippery to be able to move confidently. |
| May 15 06:31:44 | 5m 02s | Shovel vs deforestation | ♥ 1 | That got pretty violent pretty quickly :) I couldn't help but interpret the shovel as also being an axe, because of the chopping motion and amount of blood... Kind of an odd criticism, I know... I liked the look and feel, nice work! |
| May 15 06:37:25 | 5m 41s | Puppy's World | ♥ 0 | Aww, nice game! The graphics and sound effects were awesome, and it had a nice level of polish. Obviously pretty short/small in scope, but everything that was in it was very well done! I liked the puzzles but just wish there was more! |
| May 16 04:42:55 | 22h 05m | Sir Shrink-A-Lot | ♥ 1 | Cool idea. The sounds were a bit... aggressive, but I liked it. Nice work! |
| May 16 04:46:47 | 3m 52s | A world too small and no jetpack | ♥ 2 | Nice graphics and mood! I agree with others that the jump felt a bit slow/delayed, though. Cool game! |
| May 16 04:51:14 | 4m 27s | Ship in a Bottle | ♥ 1 | That was really pleasant, though maybe not too much game in there. A cool creation, however you would describe it! Nice stuff. |
| May 16 04:56:43 | 5m 29s | A Lighthouse Story | ♥ 1 | Super pleasant game! Really nice graphics and soothing music. Liked the progression and the ending, though the choices didn't feel very meaningful to me. Nice work! |
| May 16 05:01:52 | 5m 09s | Journeys of the Blowfish | ♥ 1 | Agree with the other comments. Gravity was a bit weird, but the target scores were a really nice addition. Those add a lot of potential depth/replay value. I also really liked the art. Nice work! |
| May 16 05:20:43 | 18m 51s | Hop Up | ♥ 1 | WOW! Awesome game! Really fun, controls felt good, and the graphics were awesome. Loved the progression through different stages of craziness. I thought the charge-up time on the jump and eventual off-screen character were nice touches that increased the difficulty in interesting ways - I definitely don't consider those downsides! Other people are right - this is exactly the kind of game that NEEDS music. But everything else about it was so great that I can forgive that omission :D |
| May 16 05:25:00 | 4m 17s | Legend of the Mountain | ♥ 0 | I enjoyed the art (especially the characters slight smile), but didn't end up finding much of anything. Ended up giving up. It was a pleasant experience though! Nice job. |
| May 16 05:27:30 | 2m 30s | PlacidTeleCave | ♥ 1 | Fun game. Tough though! I liked the music a lot, as well as the overall vibe. Nice job! |
| May 16 05:35:01 | 7m 31s | Breakout Bunny | ♥ 2 | Cute game! Wish it was longer (and that the bunny could turn), but I liked it! |
| May 18 22:04:52 | 64h 29m | Daily Routine: the smallest worlds are the ones we get stuck in | ♥ 2 | Congratulations on finishing your first jam! You've done a really good job! I'm sure most of my comments will have been covered by others already, but that's just evidence of how effective you've been at "community involvement", if you will. Leaving quality comments on others' work and developing creative promotional campaigns (free cereal?!) have worked really well, and that's really important, even if it isn't something you're rated on. Loved all the little details, the art, and the hint progression. Agree with those who have said that keeping the number of mini-games/sections low helps communicate the sense of stagnation that the player needs to break out of. Definitely agree with your comment that our games came from a similar origin! You did a great job with it! |
| May 18 22:28:51 | 23m 59s | Tower up | ♥ 0 | Definitely agree that the blocks should re-spawn. But that was a fun game! The mechanics worked in a very interesting way! |
| May 18 22:32:28 | 3m 37s | CryoDream .2 | ♥ 1 | Congratulations on making a thing! Nothing wrong with toys :) |
| May 18 22:47:42 | 15m 14s | Of Course I Remember You! | ♥ 2 | Woah, that was a pretty cool game! I didn't realize you could do stuff with the mouse on my first playthrough which led to me being VERY confused and almost... scared of the weird people? It was nice once I figured it out though - charming game! I feel like the timer could be a little longer, though. |
